When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked horrible. After seeing the actual now, it's visually stunning but it does have a typical storyline. I think the 3d was great, and it was used well within the context of the movie and not used for a cheap pop out here and there. If you plan on seeing it, it has to be in 3d or at least on the big screen.

I think he almost certainly will. The question is when. Domestically, it made about $73 Million. But world wide it's already made $232.2 Million, which is the best world wide debut ever, for a non-sequal. Apparently 20th Century Fox isn't saying exactly how much they spent to make the movie. But it's rumored to be somewhere between $240 Million and $500 Million. Granted, that's an enormous amount of money. But when you factor in long term ticket sales, dvd sales, and licensing, I think they'll definitely recover their investment. I think how soon they do, depends on whether or not the ticket sales stay strong in the next few following weeks. My opinion is that it will probably do quite well this week, because a lot of people go see movies over the Christmas holiday. But past that, it's hard to say.

Plus, a large part of Avatar's budget was spent on R&D of 3D technology they'll be using from now on. They're already shooting another movie (low-budget this time):
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881320/
Their 3D technology is being used on TRON sequel.
Cameron-produced "Fantastic Voyage" starts shooting next year.
They're also preparing a "Titanic" re-release in 3D.
